[pianotech] Old Steinway K-52 butt springs

I just replaced a set of springs on a 1098. I measured wrong, and got the 2" long tails, so I had to cut each one of them and bend the tip. I should have gotten the spinet hammer butt springs, (Schaff 3777) which are only 1 3/8" long, which probably would have worked without modification. Steinway doesn't sell them any more.

Just curious - for those who've had to replace the butt springs on an 
old K-52, do you make your own springs, or modify aftermarket springs 
(which are too long)? Or is there a supplier that sells shorter springs 
to fit the Steinway?
